Respuesta :
-5
Make the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
In the equation y = -5x - 2/3, the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2/3.
For this case we have that the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis
We have the following equation:
[tex]y = - \frac {2} {3} -5x[/tex]
Reordering:
[tex]y = -5x- \frac {2} {3}[/tex]
So, we have to:
[tex]m = -5\\b = - \frac {2} {3}[/tex]
Answer:
The slope is -5
